GameSpot

The Last Blade (aka Gekka No Kenshi, which translates to "Swordsmen of Moonlight") is a latecomer to the overpopulated lineup of Neo-Geo fighting games, but it is definitely one that should not be overlooked as it makes its transition to the PlayStation. With a deep and intricate fighting system, intuitive and responsive controls that are as comfortable and familiar as any you've ever known, and a smattering of innovation - not to mention subtle and attractive aesthetics - it's a nuanced, if late, entry by SNK.
